Default Templates won't recognize my variables

What am I missing here? All I want to do is add a conditional on FORUMHOME, so that one certain forum does not display regular forum bits, but rather some custom markup. I thought it would be a breeze.

In forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost, I want to change this
PHP Code:
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumidstyle="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
    
$childforumbits
</tbody
to this
PHP Code:
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumidstyle="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
<if 
condition="$forum[forumid] == 46">
    
$my_custom_var
<else />
    
$childforumbits
</if>
</
tbody
The problem is that no matter where I attempt to define $my_custom_var, the template will never recognize it. I have tried every hook imaginable, and also tried to define it directly in index.php, global.php, and init.php. Nothing works.

I'm sure I have the problem isolated to $my_custom_var because this works as expected...
PHP Code:
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumidstyle="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
<if 
condition="$forum[forumid] == 46">
    Print 
custom text here.
<else />
    
$childforumbits
</if>
</
tbody
In addition, I assigned some custom text to a known recognized variable ($show) and that also works as expected...
PHP Code:
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumidstyle="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
<if 
condition="$forum[forumid] == 46">
    
$show[my_custom_var]
<else />
    
$childforumbits
</if>
</
tbody
Of course, I don't want to, and shouldn't have to dump a big chunk of markup into the $show array. Do I need to register my custom variable somewhere so it gets recognized? Again, I have tried all the hooks, I have tried direct file edits. I have used DEVDEBUG (which annoyingly spits out the expected variable :ermm: ).... yet it just refuses to get recognized by that template. Now I'm aggravated. I been lurking here for years and always found my answers by searching. Aaaaaggghh

Can anyone please fill me in on what I'm missing here?

Well $show would be the most appropriate place to put it. But try adding a 'global $my_custom_var;' to your script.

Thank you, I didn't know that $show would be the appropriate place for it. I'll probably just use that then.

It is good custom to prefix your variables in this kinda places, to avoid possible future problems with Jelsoft variables.

So use:
$post['mutus_myvar']

and not:
$post['myvar']

Thanks again Marco

I do always attempt to uniquely identify any custom variables or function names of my own. I only used $my_custom_var as an example.

My real names I don't think will ever surface in native VB code. :classic:

at least I should hope not... aranoid: :nervous:

the point here is that all your variables may not be globalised by vB itself when you call your template, because the call itself is a function, though you need your variables to be known by the function... using the default vbulletin variable arrays is the best way... like $show and $post... because you're sure they will be detected...!

so instead of $yourvariable, use $show[yourvariable] when creating and calling your variables, and you're sure it will be done correctly in a strange situation...
